Abstract
A transport system has at least one hauling cable to which a cableway vehicle formed with running gear and a vehicle cab can be coupled. Alternatively, the system has a carrying cable or a track on which a cableway vehicle formed with running gear and a cab can be moved by a traction cable. The section with the hauling cable or carrying cable, or the track, is adjoined by a further track section along which a carrying vehicle for the cableway vehicle can be moved. The carrying vehicle has a drive motor. The running gear of the cableway vehicle runs onto and attaches to the carrying vehicle, whereupon the cableway vehicle is movable along the adjoining track by the carrying vehicle.
